After thirty serious violent incidents in three months, IJmuiden has been designated a safety risk area by Mayor Frank Dales. Until August 1, everyone in almost the entire city may be preventively searched for carrying weapons and/or fireworks. An extremely tough measure that he took to ensure the safety of the residents. What does that do to a city like IJmuiden and what feeling do its residents have today? To answer that question, NH, in collaboration with the NOS, is moving the editorial staff to IJmuiden. Grand café Staal on the Lange Nieuwsstraat, the shopping street of IJmuiden, is the base.
